About
The Forge is thrilled to announce our inaugural Actor Showcase, a chance for you to present your work for five agents in five minutes!
Plan your time:
The slots will be on a first-come, first-serve basis, but please do not arrive any later than 12:00pm to ensure that we do not run over.
Each slot is five minutes. This is YOUR time, to use however you'd like. For example, bring in audition material to perform, a collection of headshots to review, or devise your own Q&A session!Â
In attendance:
Jaclyn Hergott (she/her) | 10MGMT | Director of Commercial/Lifestyle + Content Creators
Lauren Smith (she/her) | Talent X Alexander | Theatre Agent, On-Camera Agent Assistant
Kalena Schweger (she/her) | Big Mouth Talent Inc. | On-Camera Agent

We will provide:
• A waiting area for you to prep
• A reader (if needed)
• Someone timing your five minute slot
• Tech assistance if you choose to display a reel or form of digital media (Note: setup time is NOT included in five minute slot)
Once a ticket is purchased, you will receive an email form to help us get to know your material and let us know how we can best support you on the day.
